They earn money through others lacking said block, so they're still earning money. I go on Youtube for entertainment, not ads.[/quote] So just because everyone else is paying money for a product, you shouldn't pay money for it? The entertainment you want is supported by ads, among other things. [/quote] I'm one in a sea of a few thousand using ad-blocks. Ad-blocks serve as more than just to block ads on Youtube, but to also block pop-ups and such. I get on Youtube for music, I don't get on there for ads. Also, more people lack the ad-block than have it, and many people still get paid through their ads. They are not poor.[/quote] That is your reasoning, though: a product exists, others pay for that product, and the producer makes money on it*. Therefore, I should not have to pay for that product. I want the product, but I don't want to have to pay for it to get it. After all, the point is not to spend money, it's to get the product. *Side note-- hard numbers on Youtube have never been revealed by Google. What we know is that the site was bleeding money - roughly half a billion per year - when it was bought. Three years later, Eric Schmidt said they were working on ways to make the site profitable. Google's been investing pretty heavily in it, and analysts predict it's been paying off. But nobody really knows for sure.
